The phrase originated in Shaw’s play Back to Methuselah (1921), pt. I, act I: You see things; and you say, “Why?” But I dream things that never were; and I say, “Why not?”

There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why? I dream of things that never were, and ask why not~John F. Kennedy used these words in a 1963 speech and correctly attributed them to George Bernard Shaw. His brother, Robert, used them as a theme for his presidential campaign.
